- What The United Nations Must Do
-
- Rather than adopting the suggested regime change in Iraq
through military force, the United Natioins must instead consider an entirely
different course of action. This new course is based upon the facts alone,
rather than political pressure. A regime change is indeed necessary, but
not in Iraq. The primary regime which needs to be changed, is the one found
in Washington DC. The greatest tyrant and true threat to world peace who
needs to be ousted, is George W. Bush. The facts which clearly show the
need for such a resolution against the U.S. are self evident...they demonstrate
a "clear and present danger" to the world community. America
is clearly a nation which aspires to global domination, through the use
of the most expensive and high tech military the world has ever known.
-
- In demonstration of the above assertions, let us be very
clear about Americas" 300+ billion dollar a year expense, for weapons
of mass destruction. These include;
-
- 1) Atomic and hydrogen bombs.
-
- 2) The "Star Wars" weaponry of space satellites,
and laser devices.
-
- 3) A host of biological weapons including anthrax, which
it has used on its own citizenry and manufactured in its own laboratories.
-
- 4) Guided missile cruisers, Stealth bombers and aircraft
carriers conveying the most advanced air-based offensives, ever to be used
in the history of mankind.
-
- 5) Depleted uranium munitions, used repeatedly upon countries
such as Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq, causing birth defects and lingering
mutilation of civilian populations.
-
- 6) The use of spies, covert CIA operatives and other
agents, as well as a barrage of propaganda, which seeks to weaken, overthrow
and exploit the sovereign nations of the world, primarily for the sake
of installing pro-U.S.-corporate puppets who will do Washington's bidding.
[The fact that it has staged countless internal rebellions and coups within
dozens of countries in the last five decades, is well documented and known.
The U.S. constantly interferes with, and attempts to coerce, the mandates
of foreign governments for the sake of its own special interests, and in
the name of "democracy". The real reason for this behavior is,
of course, unfair economic advantage and bottomless greed.]
-
- 7) Nerve gas, tear gas, blistering agents, neurotoxins
and poisonous compounds of all kinds.
-
- 8) "Smart" bombs", "Bunker Buster"
bombs, "Daisy Cutter" bombs, mines and laser or satellite guided
munitions.
-
- 9) Teams of special forces troops, whose m*issions are
designed for assassination, covert mass-murder and maximized destruction.
-
-
- The United States possesses, and has openly discussed
using, such weapons of mass destruction upon a great number of other nations.
Among these nations are those listed in George Bushs' so-called "axis
of evil" list, as well as many others which it says, "harbor
terrorists". The so-called "War on Terror" targets Libya,
Yemen, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indonesia,
Columbia, Nicaragua and many others. Upon these nations the U.S. has repeatedly
issued a series of very aggressive and threatening statements to the effect
of; "You are either with us or against us", implying dire consequences
of economic, diplomatic and military measures in the case of non-compliance.
It has openly discussed the possibility of a "first strike" use
of conventional nuclear warheads, and "tactical nukes" on the
battlefield. Its' military policy of, "win no matter what the cost
of truth or human lives", as a surrogate for sane foreign relations,
has earned the wrath of the world. U.S. belligerency has been a major contributor
to international hostilities, instability, war and the creation of reactionary
terrorist groups, as well as the oppression of peoples worldwide. Its irrational
posture threatens to catapult the world into another, and probably final,
world war.
-
- The United States has repeatedly shown its willingness
to target civilian populations with weapons of mass destruction, especially
via the carpet-bombing of cities and infrastructures. It is the only nation
to have ever used nuclear devices in war, and upon civilian targets. Among
the structures bombed have been desalinization plants, water treatment
facilities, police stations, electrical substations and generators, radar
and communications stations, hospitals, highway, railway and other transportation
facilities, factories for the manufacture of metal, plastic and wood products,
and numerous other civilian centers. Countless examples of this behavior
have been witnessed in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The result has been millions
of Iraqi and Afghan children dying of unnecessary diseases and malnutrition,
due to a severe lack of food and safe drinking water. U.S. allies such
as Israel, (whose military it literally makes possible) have also exhibited
such behavior, as has Great Britain, through constant urging toward mindless,
mutually accomplished war frenzies.
-
- A primary export of the United States is weaponry of
mass destruction, including so-called "conventional" weapons
such as guided missile cruisers, bombers, small arms, mortars, rockets,
tactical advisors, self guided missiles, attack helicopters, high tech
surveilance and imaging systems, tanks, explosives and various other tools
desigen primarily for the sake of destroying human life. Added to this
list of exports are multi-lingual propaganda, biological agents, tear and
nerve gas, atomic weapons and their constituents, as well as technical
advice regarding their construction, maintenance and use. The U.S. has
frequently urged countries to use these weapons against each other so long
as it benefitted its political interests, while simultaneously criticizing
those who use them without American sanction.
-
- Permanent State of War
-
- The U.S. has repeatedly told its own citizenry to expect
involvement in what amounts to a Permanent State of War, due to the "War
on Terror". A large and increasing number of foreign nationals are
being held in American prisons unlawfully, often without charges, legal
due process or access to legal counsel. These persons are often subjected
to psychological and physical torture due to their nationality or religious
beliefs. Its' Afghan prisoners of war in Cuba are treated without dignity,
in violation of the Geneva Convention. At the same time, the U.S. has insisted
that its military personnel must be held exempt from war crimes charges
by the international community, regardless of their actions.
-
- The United States repeatedly defies the resolutions and
authority of the United Nations, making is clear that it views this body
as merely a tool which can be occasionally used to achieve its special
interests, rather than those of humanity in general. America has also made
it quite clear that if its desires are not met by the international community/United
Nations, that it will act on its own regardless of their wishes, and in
whatever manner it sees fit. This includes pre-emptive military invasion
of any country which dares to oppose its policies, and for whatever flimsy,
baseless justification it gives to the world as an excuse for such actions.
-
- The international community must seriously ask itself,
"Who's next?" in this series of American invasions of sovereign
lands. "Who will die next...by the thousands, tens of thousands or
millions..." at the bloody hands of American imperialism?
-
- For these reasons and others, it is hereby proposed that:
-
-
- A United Nations resolution be created for the purpose
of dis-arming and otherwise rendering harmless, the major threat to world
peace which the United States has become. Toward this end the necessity
of ousting its current dictator, George W. Bush, and the legislative bodies
of that government which currently parrot him without serious debate, is
self evident.
-
-
- The functional means necessary to achieve this goal are
hereby suggested. They include;
-
- 1) Economic sanctions and trade tariffs, aimed at undermining
the U.S. economy, thereby depriving its monstrous military apparatus of
the necessary life blood to function.
-
- 2) The insistence of a complete withdrawal of all U.S.
military forces from wherever they may be stationed around the world. This
includes U.S. occupation forces already in conquered countries, (such as
Afghanistan).
-
- 3) The elimination of world petroleum exports to the
United States, as well as the necessary raw materials which make it's industrial-military
apparatus possible.
-
- 4) The withdrawal of foreign investment in U.S. companies,
and their various enterprises. This includes the canceling of existing
contracts with U.S. companies, especially those involved with the extraction
of petroleum, the mining of precious metals, deforestation, sweat shop
industries of clothing, plastics, electronics and other manufacture, as
well as other vital resources from lands not within their territorial domain.
-
- 5) That U.S. military and civil leaders, especially George
W. Bush and his entire cabinet, be brought to justice for their heinous
participations in war crimes and crimes against humanity the world over,
by the international courts. World leaders must understand that no one
country can both make the rules and break them, when it comes to international
justice.
-
- 6) The use of joint military force if necessary, to curb,
restrict and otherwise prevent the American advance toward world domination.
America must be deprived of what it most desires, which are the resources
of others to fuel an extravagant lifestyle, and the support of bribed or
bullied foreign leaders to accomplish a singularly selfish, unilateral
agenda.
-
-
- In effect, the United States must feel the full pressure
of international sovereignty, as it expresses its supreme dissatisfaction
with the US imperialism around the globe.
-
- The United States must also understand that its anti-humanitarian,
corporate-minded, industrial-military schemes for global dominance are
nothing short of those employed by Hitler, and other fascist dictators
and governments, throughout the course of history. [Constantly declaring
war and occupying one country after the next demonstrates this.] The international
community, and indeed the peoples of the entire world, find this American
attitude and behavior unacceptable. They will no longer be coerced or made
to feel insecure in their own places of residence and worship, at the behest
of American whims.
